It distances itself from the possibility of reaching the government-promoted income pact because “the required salary agreement is a long way off” before
The general secretary of the CC.OO., Unai Sordo, believes that this will be an autumn and a winter when “labour mobilization will go ‘in crescendo'”. As he stated this Sunday, this context of inflation, “accompanied by a very inadequate wage increase and a very irresponsible attitude by employers”, is “unsustainable” that wages “continue to grow below 3%”.
“This will trigger a process of increasing mobilization in collective bargaining negotiations,” the union leader insisted. In that sense, and with regard to the income pact the government is trying to promote, he admitted that today it is “not close” because “the required salary agreement is a long way off”.
In this sense, he argued in an interview on the SER chain that this future salary agreement would serve to “unlock the collective bargaining not only for the year 2022, but also for 2023 and 2024”. However, he insisted that the text would include “so-called wage review clauses” to “prevent workers’ purchasing power from falling further in the coming years”.
On the other hand, Unai Sordo also referred to the decision to abolish or reduce the wealth tax announced in recent days by several autonomous communities controlled by the PP, such as the cases of Andalusia or Galicia. After he struck down the measure as “nonsense”, he completely rejected that at a time when “there are millions of people not making ends meet, a policy is being proposed to lower taxes on the rich”.
“It is nonsense to enter a competition to lower taxes in the autonomous communities and it seems to me a terrible message for Europe,” the leader of CC OO criticized. In that sense, he pointed out that it seems “an unpatriotic message and an absolute disaster as the approach of a country”. In addition, he stated that Spain has a tax burden of “70,000 million euros per year collected less than the European Union average”.
